A way of creating distribution slices.

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
#library(devtools)
#install_github("clauswilke/ggjoy")

Now make a plot:

library(ggplot2)
library(ggjoy)

ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=price, y=cut, group=cut, height=..density..)) +
     geom_joy(scale=4) +
     scale_y_discrete(expand=c(0.01, 0)) +
     scale_x_continuous(expand=c(0, 0)) + theme_joy()
